I am going to Icmeler in 3 weeks,the best exchange rate i can get is 1.42tl to the pound.Would i be better taking british money or traveller cheques and exchange them over there?

Hiya
Yes i would take british money with you and get it exchanged over there! The hotels and some restaurants will do it at the base rate but if you have a GOOD look around you could probably find it as high as 2.7! When i was there in May we could get 2.6 from our friend (cant mention the name of bar i dont think?????) which was good because everyone else was offering 2.5. Hope this helps

i have been following the rate on M & S excahnge site for the last 2 or 3 weeks.Today it went to its lowest in that time 2.45. the highest was last wednesday at 2.538.
i have noticed that each Wednesday for the last 3 weeks have been the higest rates.
i suppose it must have gone down in icmeler as well ,although i have read a recent post that the local rate was only 2.55.
i am taking sterling cash to change in icmeler just hope it stays above 2.5.
a big difference to last years 2.80 / 2.90

It is a big difference to last year i was sooo shocked when i went over! I just thought it was typical england not giving good exchange rates butturkey wasnt really very good though. We always have our good friend to fall back on so its all good hehe.

When i was there in may the rate was hovering round the 2.5 mark and it looks like it still is so i dont think there will have been much difference in 4 days. I just hope the rate starts to grow soon as i will be going over soon!
